Scorsese to direct “The Snowman”

Quick note for all you Jo Nesbo fans, before I race off to an early screening of “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy” on this wet morning: Martin Scorsese, whose “Hugo” arrives in theaters this week, is confirmed to direct “The Snowman,” a Norwegian crime thriller based on the popular novel by Nesbo and featuring the detective Harry Hole. Expect scary snow creatures. And maybe Leonardo DiCaprio. (That’s just a guess on my part.)
